Proper feeding is key to maximizing milk yield, maintaining animal health, and improving overall farm productivity. At Lakshmi Cattle Feeds, we provide guidance on scientifically balanced feed schedules and nutritional practices to help farmers achieve sustainable results.

1. Feeding Principles

  • Provide balanced nutrition for all stages of growth: calf, heifer, lactating cows, and dry cows.

  • Ensure clean, fresh water is available 24/7.

  • Combine green fodder, dry fodder, and concentrated feed for optimal digestion and milk production.

  • Maintain a gradual transition when changing feeds to prevent digestive disturbances.

2. Feeding Schedule Example

Animal Type Feed Type Quantity (per day) Notes
Cow (Lactating) Milky Plus – Bypass Protein 2–3 kg Adjust based on milk yield
Buffalo (Lactating) Milky Plus – Bypass Protein 2.5–3.5 kg Include green fodder 2x/day
Dry Cow Regular Cattle Feed 1.5–2 kg Maintain body condition
Calf (6–12 months) Starter Feed 0.5–1 kg Feed along with milk & green fodder

 

3. Tips for Maximum Milk Yield

  • Feed high-quality compounded feed like Milky Plus for lactating cows.

  • Provide supplements and mineral mixtures as recommended by a veterinarian.

  • Deworm animals 3–4 times a year.

  • Ensure timely vaccinations (FMD, HS, BQ, Anthrax, Brucellosis, Theileriosis, IBR).

  • Feed in smaller, frequent meals to improve digestion and nutrient absorption.

4. Storage & Handling Guidelines

  • Store feed in a cool, dry place to maintain quality.

  • Do not use hooks or puncture bags during storage.

  • Check best-before date before use.

  • Always keep feed away from moisture and direct sunlight.
